1 Corinthians 12:1-31 CSB

[1] Now concerning spiritual gifts: brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be unaware. [2] You know that when you were pagans, you used to be enticed and led astray by mute idols. [3] Therefore I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. [4] Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. [5] There are different ministries, but the same Lord. [6] And there are different activities, but the same God works all of them in each person. [7] A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good: [8] to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit, to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit, [9] to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit, [10] to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of tongues, to another, interpretation of tongues. [11] One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as he wills. [12] For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body-so also is Christ. [13] For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and we were all given one Spirit to drink. [14] Indeed, the body is not one part but many. [15] If the foot should say, "Because I'm not a hand, I don't belong to the body," it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. [16] And if the ear should say, "Because I'm not an eye, I don't belong to the body," it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. [17] If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? [18] But as it is, God has arranged each one of the parts in the body just as he wanted. [19] And if they were all the same part, where would the body be? [20] As it is, there are many parts, but one body. [21] The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" Or again, the head can't say to the feet, "I don't need you!" [22] On the contrary, those parts of the body that are weaker are indispensable. [23] And those parts of the body that we consider less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unrespectable parts are treated with greater respect, [24] which our respectable parts do not need. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable, [25] so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other. [26] So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. [27] Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it. [28] And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, leading, various kinds of tongues. [29] Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles? [30] Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? [31] But desire the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way.
